PCI Express 3.0
PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the
performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance,
unprecedented data speed, and seamless transition with its complete backward compatibility
to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.

Intel I210AT LAN Solution
The motherboard comes with a Gigabit LAN controller and port which provides a total solution
for your networking needs. The onboard Intel
Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth.
®
Intel I219LM LAN Solution
®
The Intel Ethernet Connection I219 provides compact, single port integrated physical layer
devices that connect to the CPU and follow on chipsets. The advanced interrupt-handling
features can reduce overheard, and energy savings thanks to the addition of platform low
power management support.
Serial ATA III technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III 6 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA
interface and Intel
bandwidth of current bus systems with up to 6 Gb/s data transfer rates.
Integrated USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) Support
The motherboard implements the USB 3.1 connectivity built in for the very fastest USB data
transfers - that's up to 10Gb/s, or twice as fast as USB 3.0. The next-generation standard is
completely backward-compatible with your existing USB devices, and you'll be all set for USB
3.1's breakneck speeds.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan
rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the
voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
ASUS Fan Speed technology
The ASUS Fan Speed technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the system
loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
